Me, at an art store: I need a paint marker with low toxicity and a delicate tip.
Employee: What kind of project are you working on?
Me: It's for a research project. I just need bright colors.
Employee: What medium are you using? Canvas or paper?
Me: uh....spiders.
Employee: Plastic or felt?
Me: ....live spiders. Like, from the forest.
Employee: ....
Employee: I have to get back to the counter.
As you can see by these profiles, a universal constant amongst science ladies is a need for hairties.
What better way to celebrate Women’s History Month than by celebrating these amazing and accomplished women of science, brought to you by Lauren Goldberg (aka Auberg Designs on Etsy).
Each necklace sports the profile (or cameo) of a different woman who pioneered science in her own way. Available in silver, copper, or bronze with different finishes. So many phenomenal women, I can’t choose just one!

Caroline Herschel - astronomer
Heddy Lamar - inventor/actress
Ada Lovelace - programmer
Grace Hopper - programmer

Despite its appearance, there is order in the chaos of turbulence. These snapshots from a turbulent channel flow simulation outline these coherent structures in black. The top photo shows a top view looking down on the channel and the bottom image shows a side view of the channel. It is thought that studying these coherent structures may help shed light on turbulence and its formation, which remains one of the great open questions of classical physics. (Photo credit: M. Green)
It’s Schlier-tastic!!
These are my invisible wonders! Gas flows and fluid interactions. Nothing but hot air, metho and acetone, yup, humble old nail polish remover.
The images were captured using a colour indicating z-system schlieren optical array, an open shutter and a flash duration of 125 microseconds.
